History

Southern terminus of NY 228

NY 228 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It originally began at NY 224 in Odessa and ended at NY 79 in Mecklenburg. At the time, NY 79 continued north from Mecklenburg toward Perry City.^[1] In the early 1960s, NY 79 was rerouted to follow a previously unnumbered highway west of Mecklenburg instead. The former routing of NY 79 from Mecklenburg to Perry City became part of an extended NY 228.^[3][4]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Schuyler County.
